Spring Creek Cemetery is located in SE ¼ of SE ¼ of Sec 22 Twp 26 N Range 39, 4 miles NE of Reardan. This land was originally patented by John Surber, issued on 11-23-1891 and defined as 160 acres in the S ½ of the S ½ of Sec 22 Twp 26N Range 39. This land was owned by Fred B Barnard as shown on the 1911 Atlas.
The basis for the tombstone listings which were used in gathering death data for this cemetery was a combination of comparisons of previous recordings by Jana Johnston in 2001, Bud and Virginia Engelhardt in 1998, Wes and Carrie Lartigue in 1974; in addition to personal recordings taken in 1999. These names and dates were pursued to find deaths of those individuals or additional related persons who were buried here. Other identifying data, accumulated in this search, has been retained in this file. Some land patents were acquired to document the spatial relationship of surnames in the vicinity of the cemetery; these also are retained.
